Verdict

There is no doubt the Jim Bolger-trained HALIMI deserves a change of fortune following a near miss at the Curragh on his latest start after bumping into Patrick Sarsfield on return to action at Navan last month. The four-year-old is the highest rated in the contest by 5lb with the Jessica Harrington-trained Lynwood Gold, next best and likely to emerge as the biggest danger. The Aidan O'Brien-trained, Memorablis looks on a handy mark for handicap debut while Latoyah Of North and Princess Zoe, winner at this meeting on Monday should not be taken lightly.
  1. Halimi
